Online Safety

There have been lots of news stories lately about computer hackers, as well as people who's identity has been stolen. There are many good tips for how to avoid having things like this happen to you. Ask yourself: "Do I know and trust who I’m dealing with – or what I’m sharing or downloading? How will I feel if my information ends up somewhere I didn't mean for it to be?" Remember, Your actions online can and will have consequences in the live world, your posts are out there for good, the things you post may have a bigger audience than you think, and always  get the OK of someone else before posting videos or pictures with them in it. Be cautious, be critical, and make sure your passwords and devices are secure all the time, and you can successfully avoid cyber attacks, online bullying, hackers, and stolen identities.
